actually im sure lou was chosen as 'the incredible hulk' over arnie because lou was tall and muscular..arnie was shorter or something..but arnie did keep destroying lou at those 1970s mr universe contests..

Yes, you are correct. This happened at the time of Mr Olympia shows of the mid 70s, when the classic Pumping Iron film was being made, and body building was going mainstream. Arnie auditioned, but was denied due to be short.

Interestingly, it was during an sit down interview with Lou Ferringo, and a certain Terry Bollea, that lead to everyone saying that Terry Bollea made Lou look small...Terry Bollea was told that he was the real hulk. Terry Bollea went onto to become Hulk Hogan, arguably the biggest name in pro wrestling history.

He was the first hulk on TV but he couldn't achieve anything beyond that. Arnold became a big action hero in Hollywood and went into a different league in acting career as well.

yeh well the incredible hulk was on tv on sunday lunchtime in England in the late 70s and early 80s when I was little, so I always liked lou from way back..he didn't follow it up like arnie but lou was in an internationally successful tv show which is a bit cool...lets face it when lou came on screen all angry and green..you didn't forget him in a hurry

I guess Nadal is a bit like that on the clay. :twisted:

Great connection with Nadal. This is precisely what Fred must be thinking whenever he faces Rafa.

Except with Nadal, just gotta knock over one of his water bottles and you might have a shot

His forehand is essentially the same as Federer's, he just uses a SW grip instead of eastern and has a more powerful upper body. Aside from the forehand, he's an incredibly talented tennis player with one-in-a-million ball skills. Everyone focuses on the brute aspects of his game, but Nadal has world-class touch, anticipation, court sense, everything, all the shots. He's a complete player. Probably on PEDs too, but he's a complete, all-time great, player.
